Using the DB2 database Toolkit in a Serviceguard Cluster in HP-UX Release README: B.06.00

NOTE: This README file assumes that the user has already
installed
Serviceguard, DB2 Database, and the DB2 Database toolkit on all cluster
nodes.
B.DB2 Information
Each cluster member requires a local copy of DB2 server. DB2
instances
are configured as packages under Serviceguard. Clients connect
to the
DB2 database using an IP address that is assigned to the Serviceguard
package.
Serviceguard monitors the health of the DB2 Database Server using DB2
Database
utility tool "db2gcf". In case of failure of DB2 system on one
node,
Serviceguard fails over all the necessary resources and
starts up an
identical DB2 instance on one of the standby nodes.
C.Setting Up the Application
The steps below outline the installation procedures and the necessary
checks
required to provide high availability for DB2 UDB Enterprise Server
Edition v9.5

1. Create a volume group, logical volume and file system to hold the
database
and these parameters have to be defined in the SG package
configuration.
Since the volume group and file system must be uniquely named
within the
cluster, include the identity of the db instance in their names
please refer to chapter titled "Building an HA Cluster" in the
"Managing
Serviceguard" manual for explicit instructions.
2. Make sure that minimum hardware and software prerequisites are met
before
the product installation is initiated. The latest installation
requirements
are listed on IBM web site
